Dear colleagues

Welcome to the outstanding February issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, prepared by our great Managing Editors, Javier Asin and Jeann Leal. Thank you Javier and Jeann!

Please peruse these pages and our website (https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/) to review the impressive amount of training opportunities around the world, including our classic “Big 4” (General Pathology Review Course, CLIIC, POLA/CLASS, Foundations of Pathology), and myriad seminars and workshops around the world, in person or virtual, and in several different languages.

New this year are the Veterinary Introductory Pathology Series-A system Based Review-, coordinated by Dr Kelsey Fiddes and the Fish Pathology Series, coordinated by Dr Eileen Henderson. Thank you Kelsey and Eileen.

A last minute add on to this year Foundation’s training program is the Ruminant Necropsy Workshop put together by the Davis-Thompson Foundation and the University of Nebraska- Lincoln, in the Great Plains Veterinary Educational Center, Nebraska (April 20-21). This hands-on course has been designed for veterinary pathology residents and early-career pathologists, and it focuses on practical skills you can immediately apply in diagnostic and academic settings. Because of the practical nature of the course, seats there are limited; please consider registering soon.

Last but not least, we are excited to announce that the classic Fascicles on Surgical Pathology of Tumors of Domestic Animals, are back. Volume 5 (Tumors of the Alimentary system; John Munday Editor) and Volume 6 (Tumors of the Nervous System; Daniel Rissi Editor) are in their final stages and will be available for sale in the next few months. Please keep an eye for those.

Looking forward to see you in one of our training activities.
